Comments on Madeleine McCann from Rebecca

Each time a little child goes missing my heart breaks all over again. I am praying and hoping that little Madeleine is being placed back into the arms of her parents as I write this. The loss of a child to abduction is so very hard that words cannot begin to express the range of emotions that happens to a parent.

My family and friends are praying for Madeleine and her family. One thing we can never do is give up hope. Without hope all else is lost. We must keep hope alive for Madeleine.

God Bless those who have contributed to the fund for her safe return:

About Rebecca

After the 1999 abduction, rape, and murder of her 12-year-old daughter Andria, Rebecca Petty chose to fight for the rights of crime victims and focus her anguish on keeping the children of America safe from predatory crime and abduction. Rebecca has worked closely with law enforcement, crime victims, children, parents, law makers and her community.
She is frequently called upon by regional media in the event of a child abduction or any issue involving child safety to offer her advice and insight on the issue. In her efforts to create a legacy for her daughter, Andi, Rebecca has worked in her community to fingerprint and photograph over 20,000 children and has handed out over 10,000 home DNA kits. She has appeared on national and local television shows including the Oprah Winfrey Show and Phil Donahue show as well as written articles for her local newspaper and periodicals. She is also a member of Team HOPE, a support network for families of missing children. Runner Up for the 2007 Jefferson Award.
